Scala 2.11.0-M4

[adriaanm]

Added the news item and download page for 2.11.0-M4. Review by @heathermiller, please.

I verified it looks ok in jekyll (btw, on jekyll 1.1.2, the command to start the server is jekyll serve).

I'd also suggest switching to github flavored markdown in _config.yml:

--- i/_config.yml

Awesome! LGTM.

Yeah, good point on the markdown parser– now that we don't rely on github pages, we're free to do anything. I'll look into it– you like github-flavored/redcarpet, you say? (Makes sense, our markdown would be 1-to-1 everywhere.)

Cool! I have another tweak coming to fix the font size for 2.11.0-M4, as it doesn't fit in the button for me.

It does not fit for everyone, actually. See #82.

[heathermiller]

Yep, we're aware. We've already got a ticket for that. We could also just make the thing wider.

@adriaanm @heathermiller: I'm wondering how download/_posts/2013-07-11-2.11.0-M4.md was authored? Is it generated by some script that I don't know about or you have to write it by hand (including file sizes)?

[adriaanm]

It's all manual. Crazy, I know. There's a script somewhere in the
scala/scala-dist repo I believe, but mostly it's just manual....
